Frailty, thy name is woman!
Away! Thou'rt poison to my blood.
There is no more mercy in him than there is milk in a male tiger.
For such things as you, I can scarce think there's any, ye're so slight.
You wear out a good wholesome forenoon in hearing a cause between an orange wife and a fosset-seller.
You abilities are too infant-like for doing much alone.
Dissembling harlot, thou art false in all!
Go hang yourself, you naughty mocking uncle!

I shall laugh myself to death at this puppy-headed monster!
You peasant swain! You whoreson malt-horse drudge!
